Great access to Heavenly as skiing was the purpose of the trip. Quiet area. Full kitchen. Comfortable beds. Could not find any space heaters in the closets. Not all the blinds work. Easy lock code for entry. Fast communication with travel accommodations. Thank you!

First time booking and it turned out perfect. Very nice and cozy feeling, all the family felt very comfortable. Close enough to the Main Street for a short drive to the casino. Very quiet and calm location to have a nice bbq at the deck. The rental company was also very helpful and answered to text very fast and very easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again.
